Two new glycosylated macrolactones, apoptolidins E (5) and F (6), were isolated from fermentation of the actinomycete Nocardiopsis sp. and their structures assigned. Lacking the C16 and C20 oxygens of apoptolidin A (1), these macrolides are also the first members of this family to display a 4-O-methyl-l-rhamnose at C9 rather than a 6-deoxy-4-O-methyl-l-glucose.

Microbial biosurfactants have garnered significant interest from industry due to their lower toxicity, biodegradability, activity at lower concentrations and higher resistance compared to synthetic surfactants. The deep-sea Rhodococcus sp. I2R has been identified as a producer of glycolipid biosurfactants, specifically succinoyl trehalolipids, which exhibit antiviral activity.

Article Synopsis
- Macrolide antibiotics are produced through enzymatic modifications after a core structure is formed, which allows for the creation of hybrid antibiotics.
- The study focused on the enzyme MycG, which can perform multiple reactions during antibiotic biosynthesis, and confirmed its role in modifying a specific hybrid macrolide compound (IZI) by hydroxylation and epoxidation.
- By introducing specific genes into a bacterial strain, researchers successfully increased the production of modified versions of IZI, demonstrating the potential of MycG for developing new antibiotic compounds.

A series of novel macrolides were discovered from the culture supernatant of the rare soil actinobacteria and named dactylosporolides A-C. The structure and absolute configuration of these dactylosporolides were defined using a combination of NMR structural elucidation and analysis of the dactylosporolide biosynthetic gene cluster. Together these data revealed dactylosporolides to be composed of a central 22-membered macrolactone with an internal hemiketal ring and a protruding ketide tail that were (poly)glycosylated at two distal parts.

Resin glycosides, mainly distributed in plants of the family Convolvulaceae, are a class of novel and complex glycolipids. Their structural complexity and significant biological activities have received much attention from synthetic chemists, and a number of interesting resin glycosides have been synthesized. The synthesized resin glycosides and their analogues not only helped in structural verification, structural modification, and further biological activity exploration but also provided enlightenment for the synthesis of glycoside compounds.
